Velocity was all ready to slump to the ground in exhaustion but seeing Tauro attack Cosmo, all he can do is stare in amazement. After a second to recover, he says, "What the heck are you doing?" to Tauro.

Seeing that now the threat is from what was to be considered an ally, Leech fires a drain attack at Tauro, not wanting him to attack Velocity, but he misses his target.

Warlock also taken by surprise yells out. “Tauro stop this at once!” He casts a spell to neutralize Tauro but he too misses his target.

Cosmo looks oddly at the bull man who had so recently aided him in his goal of bringing justice upon the woman who killed Cathy. Perhaps he was upset that the woman had escaped and felt it necessary to vent his frustrations.

"Easy there, my friend. I'm angry the woman escaped as well, no reason to take it out on me," Cosmo said in a somewhat echoing voice. Cosmo fires a blast of light [Dazzle] at his fighting companions eyes, hoping to temporarily blind him. But Tauro manages to dodge the dazzle attack.

Tauro, finally managing to control the beast inside him, drops to his knees panting heavily.

Seeing that Tauro has stopped his rampage Hell holds off firing his warning shot.

With the combat now over and Tauro appearing to have calmed down Warlock casts a spell and levitates Draven to the ground next to the other vampires. “We must restrain these vampires until the authorities arrive. Are these all of them, did the rest escape?” Warlock asks (Velocity did not “hear” this since Warlocks back was to him and he could not read his lips).

Leech looks at Warlock and nods. "Yeah, some got away, but I don't know how many. So, how you you suggest we hold them here? I don't see a casket or anything...."

OOC: He will make sure that Velocity can see him when he replies to Warlock so that he knows what's going on.
 


Seeing Tauro calm down, and shrink back to normal size, Velocity visibly relaxes and takes a seat on the edge of the roof. "So, what now? The female vampire that started this whole thing got away. There is another female vampire unconcious in the store down the alley a little ways, unless she came to and got away."

Velocity then addresses Warlock. "Who is that guy?" he asks, pointing at Draven.

Tauro shrinks back down to normal size as he pants heavily. "I-I-I'm sorry... I couldn't help myself."

"That's alright," Cosmo said, "Rage is a powerful thing. Allow me to help ease some of your pain . . ."

Cosmo slowly approached Tauro and placed his hand on Tauro's shoulder, using Heal on him.
 

Tauro cracks a grin, looking a little less fearsome as he replies, "Th-thanks, man. Those guys sure pack the punch, don't they?" He turns back to look at his (hopefully) new boss. "Well?? Do I get the job?"

Leech looks at Warlock and nods. "Yeah, some got away, but I don't know how many. So, how do you suggest we hold them here? I don't see a casket or anything...."

“I’ve notice you are able to weaken them, if you can continue to do so I will hold them off the ground so they can’t run off. At least until the authorities arrive.” Responds Warlock, he then casts a spell that levitates the vampires off the ground.

Seeing Tauro calm down, and shrink back to normal size, Velocity visibly relaxes and takes a seat on the edge of the roof. "So, what now? The female vampire that started this whole thing got away. There is another female vampire unconscious in the store down the alley a little ways, unless she came to and got away."

Velocity then addresses Warlock. "Who is that guy?" he asks, pointing at Draven.

“That is unfortunate that the woman escaped.” Warlock responds. “You move very quickly, can you go down and see if the unconscious woman is still there? And if she is bring her here so we can restrain her also.” In response to Velocity’s other question a puzzled look crosses Warlocks face. . “I do not know him. He called me brother but I do not have a brother, none that I am aware of anyway.”

During this discussion Cosmo is able to heal Tauro’s wounds.

Tauro cracks a grin, looking a little less fearsome as he replies, "Th-thanks, man. Those guys sure pack the punch, don't they?" He turns back to look at his (hopefully) new boss. "Well?? Do I get the job?"

“Yes, we will work out the details at a later time.” Warlock answers. “But we will have to work on that anger problem of yours, we don’t want you tossing the patrons around.”

A few minutes later, as you’re still talking over the situation, the police arrive on the scene. Pushing through the crowd that formed at the entrance to the alley several officers approach you. You also notice several other officers head for the main entrance of the club.

“I’m Sgt. Blake.” The lead officer introduces himself. “Who are you people and want happened here?”
 

Leech begins to use his drain attack on each vampire in succession until the authorities arrive.

In response to the police officer Leech speaks up nochalantly, making sure that Velocity can read his lips. "Well, we're the ones who beat these vampires into submission. Y'see, this one female vamp killed some poor girl who is still in the ladies restroom. When we chased her out into the alley, we found quite the gathering. Upon being confronted, they decided that they wanted to fight a bit, so we decided to lay the smack down on them. And then well, you showed up just in time to help us cart them off." He then looks at Velocity and asks, "That pretty much sums it up doesn't it?"
